I agree -- lots of dyslexics who need audio but glean a lot from audio with video, and of course they can see the pictures. Didn't someone also say it could help sighted instructors of blind students see where the student is in a book? Anyway, hopefully the price will go down rather than up -- it seems like a display is harder to manufacture than audio only. So the price will depend on the added customer base. --le

I could see a Book Sense with a small display benefiting someone with dyslexia or a learning disability. I am only guessing. If I am right, I like it. Universal designs will bring down the price for all of us.
